Good to hear, was anything mentioned about undocked resolution?

They better patch it, it's in the News announcement of the game as one of the key features of the game !
I know I won't use it as I'm too bad at the game right now.
Thought it was strange that they advertise it and it's missing.
Good to see a patch coming.

Why is this game so popular here?
Because people enjoy it?

Thanks I couldn't piece that together.
But so are lots of other games, this game is especially being talked about a lot these days.
So i figured theres an exception involved
It's the first UE4 game on Switch, it helps too.

Figured this would happen but it's good to get confirmation.

I know people have replied already but it's the most interesting platformer in years. It's a brilliant game and deserves to be played by everyone who enjoys the genre.

You didn't have my attention before.
You barely even had my curiosity.
But now you've got my money.
Lol, sorry for the snark.
There's also the general "New news new thread" dealio, I guess whoever posted this didn't want it to get lost within the OT that serves as a multiplat OT given that this is Switch specific news and all.
It's a unique and fun little puzzle game?

This is the only reason it appeared on my radar. David fucking Wise, indeed.

Yepp, bought it for David Wise.
Given how ridiculously fast the devs turned around an extremely competent Switch port to hit day and date, one can forgive bonus modes not being in right at day one. That they didn't hold that mode back from other versions for "parity" also deserves mention.
Great work Sumo!!

It's also the most fun I've ever had with a puzzle platfomer. No silly physics engine dictating everything, each puzzle is essentially "how do you do this as a snake when Mario could do it in two button presses," and it's really fun to try and get into the swing of it.

For sure. The controls and mechanics are pretty much perfect, they allow you to do anything and every failure I've had has been a fault of my own. I do wish that levels had a little more variation but Snake Pass is one of the most memorable games I've played this year (in a year of Zelda, Nier and various others!)
One of the DKC composers​? Shit, now i have even more reason to buy this game.

First Switch UE4 game.
It's a unique and fun game that is about the mechanics.

Interesting dynamic in this thread of people who answered that question with "because its good" and those with "because switch/ue4/multiplat".

The "because it's good" answers are probably people who have played it.

Not yet. I'd love to see something done though.
That's right. A lot of people were concerned about feature parity and I thought they would like to know.
It's a good game, and good games should be talked about.

Me too... although I don't know what I'm waiting for. I'm always awful at Time Trials, so it's probably not a mode I'll sink much time into anyway!

Saw a thread about this on /v/ the other day, seems like it's getting a lot of word of mouth despite me never having heard about it until a couple days ago. Got a good RPS review as well. I'll probably pick it up at some point on Steam, gotta be worth it for that D. Wise soundtrack alone.
On Ps4 the primary feature of the timetrial mode is an online leaderboard vs friends and vs the world, so its not too shocking it's not in the version on a console whose online features are in Early Access

EDIT: I just checked the Digital Foundry thread and 480p is actually fairly close to the resolution they found when undocked on Switch. I'm not sure if this has changed since.
It is in portable mode according to Digital Foundry. Under 720p in docked mode.
